Love letter

About a week ago I sent a love letter to my favourite magazine 'Uppercase' for Valentines Day. The package I sent was filled with a selection of my favorite treasures, from exotic Asian trinkets to vintage train ticket stubs and even a holiday snap of myself + the letter ofcourse. To my surprise they featured the package on their blog. Whooo!

Below is a snippet of the letter, if you want to read more please click the link.

" Since the first time I flicked your pages I have been in awe and I continue to be bedazzled by your utter beauty. You are perfect inside and out and will forever hold a place on my coffee table"

About Me

I am a self confessed art–aholic. I adore everything from calligraphy, drawing and letterpress, to photography, typography and even jewellery design.

Unfortunately, my addiction means that I have a wee bit of trouble throwing anything away, because in the back of my mind I realise that it could be the subject matter of my next project.

This, I am told, is hoarding. Definition: acquiring and failing to throw out a large number of items that would appear to have little or no value to others (e.g., papers, notes, flyers, newspapers). But I prefer to look at it as the collection and preservation of unappreciated yet beautiful objects.

From 9 till 5 I am a graphic designer. But it doesn’t stop there. My mind is constantly thinking of new projects to undertake and you will often find me reading magazines or blogs and taking classes to try and improve my skills in anyway how.

I started this blog to share my passion for art with the world and to communicate the ideas and concepts behind my creations.
